Please please please for God's sake stay away from this stuff. It will steal your mind and your soul. This isn't something one can innocently dabble with. Turn to God instead, He will hear you. // Catholic ex-occultist

Hasty reader seems to have skipped the parts about circles to constrain the summoned demon in their haste to get through their grimoires. Well. Good luck with that.

Generally one stays inside a circle for protection and summons the demon into a triangle for containment. :P

Yeah, I should have said “designs”, not “circle”.

I thought I sold my soul to Satan for unfathomable worldly power, but accidently sold it to Stan, Certified Public Accountant[0] and then had to make so many calls to CityCorp to my soul back[1].

There's a movie about that [1]; well, not exactly "selling" it to the devil but upgrading to a better one. Paul Giamatti plays an actor named "Paul Giamatti" who feels he can't properly do Uncle Vanya without a Russian soul. Hilarity ensues.

Notes for those planning to sell your soul online: eBay specifically prohibits such transactions. [1] Compared to some online bans, the reasoning is pleasingly coherent. eBay does not allow the auctioning of human souls for the following reasons: If the soul does not exist, eBay could not allow the auctioning of the soul because there would be nothing to sell. However, if the soul does exist then, in accordance with…

To this day, constructive mathematicians at eBay are trying to close the remaining loophole in the ban's reasoning

Given the subject matter, I'm going to hazard a guess they are somehow getting stuck on the Axiom of Choice.

In Catholicism and some Protestant traditions, you will enter into a state of Purgatory, (or purgatory-like phase) after death where you are cleansed of sins. This could potentially take a while. This should be written in the devil contract, like how long do I need to stay in purgatory...

Depends on your sins, wouldn't it? Murder would be one term, but working for an digital ads company, developing dark pattern UI, or social media companies would be at least half of eternity.

Is eternity countable? I really want to know what I am in for, ya know. Plus, depending on the properties of the eternal manifold, maybe I can perform some useful closed timelike computation while there and use that to get rich when/if I return.

They could use a paraconsistent logician also

I thought selling your soul was done by signing on to work at Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

To be fair, selling your soul definitely pays better than working a job where it's slowly crushed everyday.

Startup for a quick online soul market?
